quasi or semi federal structure is due to more power given to center as compared to states like center has right to take over control of states in case of emergency, center has more control over country’s finances so states are dependent on center for there finances…governor is appointed by center as a representative of center in states which can takeover control of states as demanded by situation….states cant have there different constitution….nor they can amend it…some other factors like appointed of ias IPS officers by center etc. cause the indian constitution to be quasi federal..
